Becoming what I hated the most.

"My son is dying! Send the medic now!"

"He's dying, it will be difficult to revive him… It's a bit too late?"

"Don't tell me there is nothing we can do about it?"

"What about project power? Why don't we use him as our first test subject! His chances of survival are higher this way"

"Say that again sergeant and I will be mopping up your brains a few seconds from now"

"Darling, if this is what it takes to save him, then let's do it"

"..."

'What are they talking about… why does dad sound so pissed and why is mum crying…. Oooh yes, I died fighting a Deviant… Fucking bastard thinks he's amazing because of his super strength… he should just drop the power and come face me one on one, I will knock out his teeth in just a few minutes! Now that I think of it, Mr. Blade mentioned project power back then… and now they spoke of it again… what is project power, and why are they offering me up as a test subject… gosh my thoughts are a mess, I can't focus on one thing for too long! This room is so dark but wait the light just appeared! Does that mean I'm saved? I won't have to die anymore?'

Yanking his eyes open, Alex abruptly sat on and would have jumped off the bed if it wasn't for the men in military camouflage holding him down.

"What the hell is this? Where am I?" He screamed out as he noticed the room was spacious but only one bed was located there. He could see so many pipes stuck in his body while some sort of strange liquid was pumped into his body.

Following the pipe, with his eyes, he saw it was connected to a large tube containing some sort of blue liquid with a blue rock at the bottom!

"I am sorry kid, the process is almost done and I can't have you fucking it up"

Alex heard a voice speak but before he could turn to see who was speaking, he felt a fist smash into his face, knocking him out, instantly!

"Awwwwww!" Alex groaned as he regained consciousness and felt a sharp pain in his left eye, he could swear his left eyes were swollen but touching it if felt normal.

"Alex!" Two familiar voices called out his name.

Bam!

Bam!

Soon Alex was embraced by his parents but even then he couldn't react properly, his head was still spinning and even his body felt a bit strange. His eyes scanned the room only to notice he has been moved to a new room with no traces of what has been done to him.

"Dad, how long have I been away" Alex asked with a dry voice.

"A month and a week now" A man in his military attire said.

Chris Briggs was a tall man for over 6ft with thick black beards and curly hair above. His eyes were as sharp as that of a serpent making it difficult to know when he's happy or annoyed.

"A month? I understand" Alex muttered.

He may have been in a state of unconsciousness but he heard their conversations and from the little, he got to see, Alex had a rough understanding of what happened so he didn't bother to ask. Project power must be an experiment aimed at giving powerless humans abilities and to save his life, his parents must have made let him undergo the process. Since he's alive and well he could guess it works.

"I refuse to be owned by the government" Alex said coldly while touching his chest where Mr. Blade hit.

His parents were a bit shocked by his words so they were a bit slow to react.

"You are not going to be owned by the government… you will not be given any special treatment… you will just have to live the life of any other deviant… go through the normal training sessions available in every academic institution in this great country and then choose if you want to serve as a guardian or live a normal life and let your ability waste away" a man said catching everyone's attention.

Chris Briggs nodded in agreement to the man's words and brought forward a document that was already signed by him and his wife. It was a confidentiality agreement, stating that Alex will be allowed to live a life free of the U.S government's influence, as long as he agrees to keep everything concerning project power a secret from the world.

He didn't know how much his parents must have given up to buy his freedom but he was sure it wasn't easy.

"Thank you…"

Those were the only words he could come up with…

….Briggs Villa….

The Briggs family was once a well-known family, owning different businesses all over the united states, and only after everything did it and with the presence of Alex's parents, they had the military backing to make them one of the top ten billionaires families In the United States. Unfortunately, the event of two decades ago, wiped out almost all members of the Briggs family and destroyed a large portion of the united states as well as their assets. While they may not be as wealthy as before, with all the wealth concentrated on the last three members of the family, Alex and his parents have enough wealth to through around lavishly for the rest of their life and still have enough to spare even after their death.

In a large training field that looks like an ancient Colosseum. There Alex stood with a tab where he read through the details of what ability he was given by the government during the project power experiment. As much as Alex didn't want to use this ability, it has been stated that he must participate in the special Deviant classes and training sessions. Whether he chooses to become a guardian or not depends on him after that, so right now, he has no choice but to master his ability.
